Mate that's a real sweet weight to have thumb.
In our terms = 2.60kg,being lighter than my old 84M Montana/2-7x33/Talley U/Lights combo.

Please tell me your secret/parts combo on getting that sucker so bloody light Wink ?

Luv to see some pic's.

Uhhh, 225's having recoil in a 338F????

Not according to the 35 fans, as the 33 bore is a popgun! pissers

Sounds just like I would expect....a performance envelope that will do in lots of game at real world ranges.
